Q16MSampling and EstimationFree sample

A random sample of 80 values of a variable XX is taken and these values are summarised below.

n=80x=150.2x2=820.24n = 80 \quad \sum x = 150.2 \quad \sum x^2 = 820.24

Calculate unbiased estimates of the population mean and variance of XX and hence find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of XX.
